(Except the solar energy boom. But , everything else? Yeah 2025 took a look at everything from smallpox blankets and invasive species to radium makeup, the holocaust , thalidomide, RBMK nuclear reactors , CFCs, leaded petrol, new coke and the Furby and decided to roll them into one big ball.
it's tacky clipart
Wait, he still hasn't made an appearance ?
"You were expecting maybe Humphrey Bogart?" 😅
"Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering kaboom..."
Three times in a row .
@nathanmecheng.bsky.social My heart !! This is so damn good. I would absolutely sneak 5kWh of juice in the back and ride for daaaays. That Box looks like it would take 400w of panels too 😇 vokbikes.com/ga/?utm_sour...
How did they find someone going that slowly in Donegal?
Plumbum.
I would not like to insinuate that the quality of WeTransfer background artwork is slipping, but......
The whole phenomenon drags me down like an evil spirit .
100% the same here - I have absolutely NO idea how I simultaneously had basically no money but was able to do things that seem impossible now
We need a bigger planet to accommodate these depths .
We need to know where he is now.... probably in the CDC or something .
You need an army of Luigis.
Luigi was absolutely 100% correct ,there was no collateral damage.
Ummm I think it was for the weapons programme and a hostile takeover of Wayne Enterprises- he was wrapped up in the stock price manipulation, didn't he hire Selina to get Bruce's fingerprints? It was also his construction company lacing concrete with explosives at tunnel entrances IIRC.

I do happen to have an inexpensive bench supply that I use for building 12v experiments and it perfectly fits what I needed it to do ,I was just intrigued by the teeny tiny form factor and DC input.
Ok, hear me out. A Lord of the Rings re-make, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor 😭
He wanted to feel in charge.
I've been tempted by one of those lil' power supplies , but I want to know what a reasonable brand name and price is for one — I see noname ones for $100 and wonder if that's even reasonable.
Like how the richter scale in Japan is different.
The basically nice thing about Brian was that as far as I can remember it didn't rely on racism, misogyny, homophobia, nationalism or really anything other than sly parody, absurdism and even some cross-dressing completely with saggy fake boobs. Mild beyond belief these days.
We've sort of run into a situation where there's nothing you CAN'T make — what possible film could someone make parodying the life of Jesus that would get it banned in a bunch of countries and get it a lot of late night talk show confrontations with pouting bishops 🤷♂️
Ohhh yep, the curse 😮💨 www.themarginalian.org/2015/10/02/m...
😊
I mean I think we should all just get past the fact of the applause and be really happy that GDT has turned out another stone cold classic, apparently. After the success of Nosferatu in the last year it's nice to see new treatments of classic stories getting great receptions.
This film becomes more and more morally ambiguous as time goes by.
Please please please let it happen on the golf course.
Go back to twitter ya knob.
This is an average day ,just hit after hit You missed yesterday, the speculation over 47 and ☠️ was delicious.
Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival
I had a sort of Steve Martin figure in mind .
— as if that was an insult. I've NEVER seen better sun protection in my life, and they retain a bit of water for evaporative cooling in the shade. People can insult them all they want, anyone who wants to wear those on a beach should be applauded because these women are playing 5D chess.
Oh! Reminds me : I'd never seen the modest swimwear that Muslim ladies have adopted over the last decade or two until I was on a day off on a project in the UAE. I rented a deckchair at Jumeirah Beach and the lady who came along beside me was wearing the head to toe setup people call burquinis >
The perfect amount of chamomile lotion :
Asian tourists sometimes get caught out, the cold-but-sunny days in spring can leave you absolutely scalded without realising 😁
And nobody buys DOOV'DE Players or LICUDUH TUVS any more .
They'd also be very wary of the CHICKEEEN in their ACCAUUUNT.
Just as I thought, it got worse instead of better.
Here comes a thread full of sincere advice about chamomile lotion and vitamin E... here's my flippant tangentially related late 90s nostalgia instead . youtu.be/sTJ7AzBIJoI?...
Just one errant golf ball to the head , it would be the funniest thing to ever have happened .
Call of Douchy
Sandwich bags are the answer — you can write the cable type on the outside with a permanent marker and they slip and slide past each other very easily, so they never, ever tangle up .
She's missing a point — if they'll do this to Palestinians for ideology they will do it for the last remnants of food, water and energy. The strongest, most well armed million people will wipe out the other eight billion just to maintain their way of life www.instagram.com/reel/DN-1ORV...
I'll take national capitals whose capitalised letters are all laterally symmetrical for $400* bob.
Ladies and gentlemen, the zeitgeist.

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
Is a gilded coffin piss-proof? 🤔
oh yep it's a good preset! Looking back, I should have played with scale,gravity and voxel size to try to refine it ,but there's only so much time in the world 😁
Neither grief nor pride had so much truth in them as did joy, the joy that trembled in the cold wind between sky and sea, bright and brief as fire.
Hahahaha, I saw that it was you and had time to wonder how you'd play it - big goopy squirt or just bubbling over and dribbling down the sides. PhoenixFD? I tried making very very thick goop, ramping the viscosity up to 10 but it never quite came out the way I wanted 🤔

I've decided that Norman Price had to have been getting backhanders from Fireman Sam to ensure his own job security. Without that one juvenile pyromaniac nobody could have justified the upkeep of that very rural fire station — it would have been shut down years ago for lack of demand.
Yessss always a joy 😁
Over calibre ?
Oh please oh please let it be on a golf course, some kind of freak accident or aneurysm that leaves him with basically zero function for a few months so it causes the cult maximum pain.
Yea I pretty much saw this coming, you were going easy on us for ages.
CDDB we miss you ❤️
Yea well Mr Nama Man , Gerry Barrett built the thing so I wouldn't be fucking surprised. I think it's God's punishment for getting rid of Hector.
Yeah — I can easily imagine there being 8-12 tonnes of water up there if the drains are all blocked with leaves. I assume they normally unblock them in Autumn before winter rain.
An accident llike this in a cinema? There'll be claims left, right and centre, plus surround left, surround right and subwoofer.
Hollywoo Stars and Celebrities? 🤔
It will take more than three years for those huge changes to make an impact - promise the manbaby everything but never deliver.
I would vote for the suppurating corpse of Margaret Thatcher first.
Google have had 18 years to get screenshots right in Android .. this is still not working consistently. They also moved the power button above the volume control so that taking screenshots with the buttons takes two hands instead of one finger .
it's for the illiterate.
it's never too late for a few aspects of this plan 👀
Sting has entered the chat .
Paper bags have a high unit carbon cost, partly offset by the embodied wood pulp,but increased by the heat and water needed to pulp and roll all that paper. They are much less impactful if they do reach the natural environment, however ,which is why they're preferable.
I know that the after-usage environmental cost is completely intolerable, however making those cheap flimsy bags on an industrial scale involves refining less than half a gram of polyethylene, then stretching and cutting it , so the unit carbon cost is relatively low. >
I would very much to essentially universalise all national/international shipping in the same way that the Internet universalises data transfer. There'd be no distinction between FedEx / UPS / a million other carriers, just addressed packages in standard containers and a universal routing system.
Actually, teeeechnically growing trees explicitly to make paper bags is a net carbon sink and reduces greenhouse gases in the atmosphere long as the energy used to process the is low and the bags aren't eventually burned.
paper bags have a higher energy/water/carbon cost for production on the front end than equivalent plastic bags , but they biodegrade and thus don't pollute as badly afterwards .
so fear us you're all subhumans so flee or you're next
I just sent this to a friend who used to work with some of the editors , Derek Cobb was still doing Uncle Larry until a few years ago 😊
Yep ,then for anything like a .308 rifle you have to join a club and do the deer stalking course/certification. Target pistols are just as hard!
Give #2 a lute and some swagger and he's 30% of the way to being the rooster from Robin Hood ❤️
running home like ...
One side effect I'm anticipating from the ongoing MAGA infestation is that panels once destined for the USA will end up being sold very cheaply elsewhere.
Isn't there a DIY manual in there somewhere? Yaknow, a good shelf help book?
Just hang in there for three and a bit years until someone can hit the undo button.... besides that tangerine fartwaffle isn't looking too healthy these days, I give him a 30% chance of even being alive during the midterms.
You may have been asked this, but does the church have really great echoey acoustics?
Every time I think about selling my 150-600 🫢
I absolutely could not handle the death in The Shepherds Crown ...I had to stop reading for a couple of days 💔
I have to say , I shall Wear Midnight really was something else entirely , the losses of innocence in the opening quarter were really devastating .
Agh!! I blazed through Tiffany Aching this summer ,then set about mopping up all my unread or skipped Discworld novels, finishing Unseen Academicals just this weekend. According to the reading guide 3.0 I'm now done with all the main novels 😢
The set of the mouth and eyes are so perfect .
I initially said Warner Bros,but yes you've a better eye than me...Disney !
🎶 Things are getting strange ,I'm starting to worry ..🎶
Hehe yea ,we'll see where it goes 😅
that was just a fluke.
You know you're walking the line perfectly when people have to take a moment to check their reality — fab work 👏 👏 👏
I had to pause at the halfway mark for about four seconds to come up with "no way , it's not possible this is real ..is it?"
This actually took me a moment of careful consideration in the middle to decide it HAD to be a parody,but it was a close run thing.
A sea kayak can run you €4,000 but will last you 20 seasons and sell for €1200 afterwards.
I always felt that about whitewater kayaking too ... people who spend tens of thousands on bikes literally can't do the same on boats because they're all in the same €800-1200 price band and don't depreciate much unless you mush them. Bikes date like milk and break like twigs.
